and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference a will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which: Figure 1 is a side view of the improved bag. Figure 2 is a similar view with the top turned down for filling purposes.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through.

the bag.

Figure 4 is a view of a part 'of the bag which is adapted to be sewed to a similar part, to form the complete bag.

As shown in these views the bag is formed of two members I which may be of leather, rubber, canvas or any other suitable material and the two parts are sewn together at the side edges as shown at 2 to make the bag with its bottom open and its top open. Each member I is cut in the shape shown in Figures 1 and 4 to provide a main body part which tapers downwardly from a point well above the center with the part above said beginning of the tapered part beingreduced to form a narrow neck 3 and from this neck the edges of the top part diverge upwardly to the straight upper end edge 4. As before stated, the two parts are sewn together at the side edges as shown at 2 and each part is stitched as at 5 at its top end edge and also at the small end edge as shown at 6, the stitching removing any raw edges. The neck portion of each part I is also provided with a plurality of lines of stitching I to prevent this neck portion from stretching. e

The top part is adapted to be turned over as shown in Figure 2 to facilitate placing of the material in the bag and then after the material has been placed therein the top part is turned back to the position shown in Figure 1 and then the bag is squeezed by one hand so as to force some of the material through the small opening at the bottom of the bag to place this material upon an object inthe form of a cord-like layer, this being similar to the placing of decorations, names, initials and the like on cakes and the bag can also be used for garnishing with mashed potatoes and with cream and other purposes. The formation of the top part with the stitching 5 makes the part easier to turn down for filling and gives a better hand hold while filling and makes the bag easier to close after the filling. The mixtures placed in the bag do not have any tendency to push back up out of the top of the bag while closing and after closing. The peculiar shape of the bag gives the operator a better and firmer grip on the bag while squeezing the same and changes most of the outward pressure to direct or downward pressure which makes the operation easier, more accurate and more precise than with the devices now in use. Also when laying the bag aside when filled or partly filled the ma.- terial has less tendency to flow or creep out of the top on account of the neck with the stitching 5 extending thereacross and the specific formation at the upper part of the bag as well as the natural up-sweep of the part of the bag below the top opening.

It is thought from the foregoingdescription that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combina-' tion and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A bag for depositing material upon an object in the form of a cord-like layer comprising a body part having its side edges tapering downwardly from a point well above the transverse center of the bag to the lower end of the bag, said. side edges at the lower end of the bag being spaced a short distance apart to provide a small lower end for the bag which is open, an upwardly flaring mouth part and an intermediate part extending from the lower end of the flaring part to the upper end of the tapered part, said intermediate part having its side edges sloping outwardly and downwardly from its point of connection with the flaring part to its point of connection with the tapered part, and transverse rows of stitching extending across the front and rear of the bag at thepoint where the flaring part joins th intermediate part. v

2. A bag for depositing material upon an object in the form of a cord-like layer comprising a body formed of two pieces of material sewn tohaving its side edges sloping downwardly and inwardly from the side edges of said intermediate portion to the lower end of the piece which is of narrow width and straight, and transversely extending rows of stitching extending across that 5 part of the piece at the junction of the top part with the intermediate part.
